Today’s Follower-Recommended Webcomic: The Hazards of Love by @hazardscomic (recommended by @teachimera)! 

A nonbinary teen from Queens who gets dragged into a surreal place called Bright World where humans are classified as “edible” and “inedible.” 

Now they have to figure out a way to get back home while doing their best to avoid dying.

Thanks! :D

For the first question, I will answer you in detail because that is a plot thread I’m abandoning in the rewrite. Family is kind of a recurring theme in Nuclearstuck, from Dave and Rose’s hard times growing up to that Horrible Thing that happens to Gamzee in bomb-ass pussy. Basically, the idea that Family is Hard but also in the dystopian situation these characters are living in Family is a Privilege (for humans). Trolls are hatched and registered in the districts and raised by nursery staff. Obviously canon trolls don’t raise their own young, but again this is more about separating the kids from the adults to more thoroughly assimilate them.

One way I was going to address this in Upliink, kind of mirroring Gamzee’s disastrous pregnancy in original Nukestuck, was with Roxy getting pregnant. She was planning to marry her baby-daddy to keep up appearances. Her refusal of a drink when she visits Sollux is kind of a nod to that. This would cause issues with Sollux, since he’d put it together waaaay before she ever told him, and stew on it and get pissy and passive-aggressive about it. He’s all fucked up knowing that any lil’ caterpillars he’ll ever have will probably be funneled into the military just like him (toying with a concept of high-powered psionics bein in a breeding program where they get paid if they produce psionics, and then again if their offspring enlist). It would also create some interesting tension between Gamzee and Dave when the fics reconnect, since Dave really wants to be a dad but Gamzee is absolutely not here for raising human wrigglers after what happened to his

But yeah! I decided to abandon that plotline ‘cause i thought it was kind of unnecessary. Also, the original dynamic I wanted to have for Roxy and Sollux was rivalry/antagonism/UST but they’re afraid to act on it because they could get in trouble. After developing these characters more, I prefer them in a kind of touchy, volatile blackrom where they care for each other a lot and understand each other pretty well but can suck at communicating about the stuff that matters and also they’re screwin’ like rabbits.

"I pitched gravity falls to psychick as the story of two ensorcelled kids, their changeling uncle, and their adventures trying to keep the hedge from spilling out, all while dealing with hedgebeasts and occasionally actors and loyalists."

Because Giffany and Bill Cipher are both True Fae and the line "Remember when you 'defeated' me?" will be used in an upcoming game.

Goaty-monster!

I have eaten the rest of your candy corn and I hope when you read this you will forgive me because I love you and also I brought you mochi.

I always forget how huge your eyes are!

That's why I keep getting things in them, like fingers and blankets and elbows. :(
